the part of the people Of this section to
heartily cooperate and earnestly desire a
good school to he successful in establishing
one.
MIR. and Mrs. Abner Emerson, with
their sister, Mrs. Joe Reed, of Micanopy,
Florida, arrived few days since, and are
visiting relatives and friends in this
portion of the County. We hope their
visit may be pleasant and agreeable.
Our yo,t.g batchelor friend and neighbor,
Mr.. j. A. Emerson, says he has arrived at
the conclusion that there is more trouble
than happiness in this sublunary world.
He says, first of all, the freshets came and
injured his corn, then his onion crop has
not panned out very well, and last but not
least, the chimney to his residence fell dur
ing the recent wet spell, and he has been
busly engaged the past week rebuilding.
He says he proposes to sit down and ruml-
nate and study till his fodder is ready to
pull, aud see if he can find out the cause Of
his i'll luck. We will volunteer q little
help, Lon; get you a sweet loving wife,
and she will share your troubles and trials
with you, and make your life one of per-
feet bliss and uhalloyed happiness.

Appeal of Tennessee Conyicts.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August ll.-Four
hundred and one convicts. confined in
the main prison at Nashville, have
appealed to the people of Tennessee to
work for the adoption of the prohibitory
amendment. After saying that three.
fourths of the inmates have been made
criminals by intoxicants, they close their
appeal as follows: wearing the garb
of disgrace, being dishonored and
counted unworthy to mingle with the
people of our State, we yet have the
same love for our wives, the same affec-
tion for our sisters, and for their sake,
and for the sake of our children, we
appeal to you to unite rs one man and
free the State from curse created by
the hands of men, discountenanced by
the law of God" Rev. N. w. Utley,

Memorial.

We, the members of the Ladies Mission
ary Society Of the Anderson Presbyterian
Church, wish to put on record menorial
testimony of the late Mrs. Ellen Towers,
a beloved and valued member of that
society. She was lady who united in
herself all the excellences of the female
character, in all the varied and important
positions which she occupied, either as a
wife, mother, a Christian or as help
and adviser in our benevolent work.
Every proposition to do good found ready
and Hearty response in her heart. On ac-
count Of her great amiability and sweet
ness of temper, her opinions we,e of great
weight with her friends. Like the true
woman she was modest and retiring.
Our friend was true Presby in her
convictions, and labored most faithfully
for her church. With true admiration
of her character in all the walks OF life,
and of her efficient and pleasant cooper
alton with us in our benevolent work, we
wish to leave this brief record of our love
and esteem. Signed in behalf OF the
Society. MRS. j. N. TOWNSEND,
President.

The Temperance meeting at Cross Roads
last Saturday was very we'll attended.
Maj. E. J. Earle presided and introduced
Col. ]. N. Brown as the first speaker. He
read the Bill, explaining and commenting
as he read. What he said was strictly to
the point, and we trust tended to destroy
much of the prejudice existing in the
minds of many persons.
The next speaker introduced was Rev.
A. A. Marshall, of Anderson. His speech
was clear, eloquent and grand; we will
not attempt to describe it, but will say
that those who missed hearing it, missed
treat. He was followed in the afternoon
by Revs. J. S. Murray and Calvin Press
ley and Hon. B. II. Crayton, each making
fine addresses, showing up the evils OF
bar-rooms in plain and unmistakable
language.
A very interesting feature of the day
was the vocal music by band Of beauti-
full little girls and boys from Anderson.
They were led by Messrs. Baker and
Brown of the same town. The organ was
removed to the stand and was presided
over by Mrs. Badger. The entire pro-
gramme was we'll gotten up, and reflects
much credit on Mr.. J. J. Fretwell, who
brought the children down from Ander-
son. They all acq uitted themselves in
most creditable atyle.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. Dean have the
sympathy of this section in the Death of
their little boy, Roscoe, which occurred
on last Wednesday night. The remains
of the little one was laid to rest in the
Cross Roads grave yard the following
day.
A protracted meeting of several days
duration closed at Roberts on last Sun
day. The pastor was assisted by Revs.
Riley, Frierson and others. all of whom
no doubt sowed seed that will blossom in
eternity. The meeting, despite the unfa-
vorable weather part of the week. was in
teresting all through and we'll attended.
We were shown over the farm of Mr..
W. NJ. Burriss few days ago. His farm
lies on Savannah River, and is in a high
state of cultivation. He has some as good
corn as we ever saw, but unfortunately
what bottom land he has on the river is
seriously injured. He did not depend,
however, on it alone, and planted large
area in upland corn, which is simply
splendid. His cotton crop is excellent,
showing energy, combined with good
judgment, in its management. And last
but not least, his melon crop is the best
we have seen this season. He has vari-
ETY.. of watermelons called Cobe's Gem
that beats anything we have seen in that
line He had twenty melons that weigh.
ed over seven hundred pounds.
The Savannah during the recent freshet
broke the wire rope over Hollands Ferry.
1t was the highest it has been for years,
1t is reported that Mr.. P. B. Allen had
the misfortune to lose several cattle by
the freshet. He had the Island opposite
Hardscrabble Mills, on the Savannah
rented for pasture, and had on it about
twenty five head, the greater part of
which was swept away. Only 8 few made
good their escape by swimming out.

Silver Brook Cemetery.

Mr.. EDITOR To the Southeast of the
city, and just beyond its limits, the City
Council Of Anderson has purchased
twenty-five acres for Cemetery. The
grounds are we'll located and highly
adapted for either Park or Gem.
etery. The gentle, undulating hills
are covered with stately oaks or full
grown pines, interspersed here and there
with young growth of water oaks, and
the narrow strip of low land, with the
hills on either side, is covered with grass,
ferns and flowers, where the clear waters
of Silver Brook winds like silver ribbon
through its entire length. Poplar Spring
gushes out from under large rock, in
the centre of the plat, overarched by the
projecting boughs of four gigantic trees,
and close by four other springs are to be
found, whose clear, limpid waters nearly
surround small plat of ground which
could be very easily turned into small
island, and more than one miniature lake
could be made in the graceful curves OF
the meandering little brook. This rustic,
sequestered little spot, from time imme.
mortal, has been favorite resort.
In these days, when landscape garden
ing is refined upon to the most luxurious
extent, the most charming effects could
be produced in this littlo nook, and if the
city fathers should at any future time
purchase the Silver Brook falls that lie
adjacent, the grounds would then be am
ply sufficient for Park, and their fine
picturesque qualities would greatly add to
its attractiveness as place for resort, and
the aromatic scent Of the pines, and the
continuous singing of the birds would
WOO the soul from the unpleasant associa-.
tions which very naturally cluster around
"a city of the dead"
On either side of the plat, as seen on the
surveyors map, there is carriage-drive,
aud, every here aud there, there are drives
intersecting each other, so as to make one
continuous passage over and around the
grounds. Three of the principal drives
enter Park Avenue, wide and handsome
street, on the south, connecting Shockley
Ferry road with McDuffie street.
Rev. J. NJ. Lander, of Williamson, who
has studied park construction. has sur
veyed the grounds. 1t is the apotheosis
of geometry and mathematics as applied
to landscape gardening.
We feel confident that, sooner or later,
these blessed twenty-five acres will he
cultivated to the very highest degree Of
beauty they are susceptible of, as by this
means the attractions of our little city
would be greatly enhanced. B. c. T.

= The latest reports from the rice crop
on the Savannah river is to the effect that
a few hundred acres may be saved, but
the greater part of the crop is drowned.
- The Keowee Courier says: "Petty
thieving is becoming too common, espe.
cially stealing from the field. We hear
much of this complaint on Keowee River
near and on the old Samuel Reid farm.
Corn, peas and watermelons are taken
or maliciously destroyed by persons un.
known to the owners of the crop. 1t Isl
penitentiary crime to steal corn from the
field, and if few could be- caught and
convicted it would have wholesome
influence in that neighborhood.'
: The Abbeville Medium says: "Last
month William Thomas was brought
before Trial Justice Sitton at Due West
charged with stealing watermelons. He
pleaded guilty and consented to take
whipping instead of the punishment
prescribed by law. 1t is said that Trial
Justice Sitton consented to this, saying
that the whippers must not cut the blood
out. He should have sent him to Jail or
imposed a fine. The report may be
mistake, but we give it as it came to US.
We are surprised that Trial Justice sitton
who is a tender headed man, would per.
nit any such thing"
Gen. James LoDgstreet lives in
quiet farmhouse on the summit of
mountain ridge in north Georgia. A
friend who has just been paying him
visit says that his hair is silver, his whis.
kers are snow, his giant figure somewhat
bent, but his eagle eyes still flash with
the old-time fire, and years have only
deepened the strong lines in his face.
He was dressed for comfort. He did not
care that his collar was awry, that his
waistcoat adorned chair post, that his
alpaca coat was ripped up the back, and
he did not care that his slippers went
fap.fap flap against his heels as he
walked.

Crops in our section continue to look
promising, and if fno disaster befalls them,
the husbandman will be rewarded with
bountiful yield, and his granaries will
overflow with the products Of the earth.
The two principal crops, corn and cotton,
were not seriously injured by the recent
freshets in this section, although corn was
badly blown down in some places. The
farmers have employed the time since lay
ing by their crops in attending public
gatherings. working the roads and prepar-
ing for gathering the abundant crops
which will soon mature. Fodder pulling
has already commenced, and will be in full
blast in short time. The first crops Of
bolls upon the cotton are about nlatured,
and have commenced to open.
The roads in this section, with few ex
ceptions, have all been recently worked,
and present fine appearance, and when
they become more compact it will be a
pleasure to ride or drive oyer them. Our
people seem to be so enthused in the mat.
ter of working the roads, that many other
roads, besides the public roads, are being
worked and put in good condition all over
this section.
Quite number of our citizens who live
in the lower portion of the County have
been attending the United States Court, at
Greenville, during the past and present
week, some being charged with selling
whiskey illegally, and Others as witnesses.
It is passing strange that some of our people
will handle or deal in an article contrary to
the laws of our country, which has done so
much harm 70 society, and has ruined and
disrupted so many happy homes. We
hope they may learn from sad experience
that it would be best to Danish it from our
fair land and have nothing to do with it..
The members of Varennes Church have
